The Valuing Water Finance Initiative (VWFI) is a global investor-led effort to engage corporate water users and polluters to value and act on water as a financial risk and drive the necessary large-scale change to better protect water systems.
The initiative calls on companies to meet a set of six Corporate Expectations for Valuing Water: covering water quantity, quality, ecosystem protection, access to water and sanitation, board oversight, and public policy engagement, which work to support investors in engaging companies on freshwater stewardship. As VWFI has recently entered the engagement phase, this webinar will cover the purpose, need, and opportunity of the engagement, as well as the founding group of signatories.
